Oh dear, it looks like Shinuyama and Arcosphale have decided to target me. I did kind of have a feeling it was coming.

ME targeting YOU? I guess that's one way to put it :P

Not that I agree, seeing how I'm in the wrong end of an opportunistic 3v1. But I do like how quickly that turned into a free-for-all. Now all we need is some Chud to really show us how to party.

Ulm and Vanarus both are making doom stacks - and I'm the border. Time to build a wall?

Sorry about that, Vanarus. It's hard not to spam soldiers from every fort, even if it's right on your borders. Can you not hold it against me?
I'll try not to.  Indeed, that was my assumption due to the fact that it was the only major force near my border at the moment, apart from what's regularly moving south; if you were going to launch a sneak attack, you'd be moving more forces up to hit me all at once.  That's the only reason I didn't contact you privately two turns ago asking what you were planning. 

Plus, as Oceania just stated, I'm doing the same thing on their border.  It's one of the awkward consequences of having precisely one fort that's *not* a border province, and that only because a player's capital circle is typically the next-best thing to sacrosanct short of invasion.  My apologies to you as well, ThtblovesDF.  I can assure you that I have no designs on Oceania at the moment.

's cool, I don't have any designs either, nor much of a plan. For one, last turn i set my research goal, then moved a researcher like a scrub and now I'm 5 RP short of a tech I needed, wraghabla

I wish I could say that you've done it once, you'll never make that mistake again, but I assure you that you totally will. The way I deal with it is waiting until the very end of my turn to mess with the research settings... and I'll still sometimes end up 5 RP short - usually because I'll remember at the last moment that I wanted to forge something, or move a mage to site search.

Honestly, there should be some mechanism to allow us to lock in a number of RPs, so that you can say "I need exactly 1,000 RP going to here, and all the rest should go over there. If one of my mages decides to do something else, make sure you take away from all the other things before you touch that 1,000 RP."

...OK.  Ulm, I love you and you've been a peaceful neighbour thus far, but for what possible reason do you need to maintain almost 300 soldiers on our border?  You've mentioned recruitment, but you've been systematically doubling the number of troops there and you've completely stopped withdrawing them.   When I said I was looking at it a bit askance before?  I'm now past that.  Consider this a formal request to withdraw your forces from our shared border.

Huh. According to my records I've only got 150~ men there. You probably just got a bad scouting report, but I will move some men away from our border. Sorry about that.

Something else people might not know: Scouting error ranges from 50% to 200% of what the actual unit count is.

Yeah, 200% of 150 is 300 after all. Either way they'll be gone next turn and replaced with more recruits so don't worry.

Ulm shows about 100 - 150 for me, so your scouts might be off?

It would be cool if one could pillage or attack specific parts of the province  i.e. damage to supplys / income / resources / population.

E: News from the front, our asian friends have started to retake territory with a medium sized army of "dudes with spears", but C'tis already has a army of longdead riders in its backpocket, will the reach of the spears be enough? Watching with greedy eyes from the borders is - every other nation. Show weakness, get consumed.

Marignon, let your flames guide you to your turn!

For that reason, I try to give myself more than a 5 RP cushion.  Although when I get that sweet, sweet opportunity to level up two or even three schools at once, it's gonna be close.

I love that I have underwater-only units that are in the hall of fame now, yay. Trapped in my puddle.

Anyone got to much crafting skills on there hands, hit me up, got lose gems.

Actually, I really like water gems and would trade most other gems 1 o 1 for them.
